Innovative approaches in transportation and urban planning are crucial. Our News Round Up highlights transformative strategies across Europe and beyond, from reducing urban transport emissions to the adoption of green roads, illustrating the urgent shift towards environmental stewardship in mobility.?

European Cities on Track to Cut Urban Transport Emissions by Over 90% by 2030s?

A recent study by Clean Cities showcases that through the swift adoption of effective decarbonisation strategies, European cities could slash urban transport carbon emissions by over 90% in the next decade.??

The report, examining diverse European locales including Madrid and Milan, underscores known strategies such as enhancing green public transport and cycling infrastructure, alongside introducing low or zero-emission zones. This ambitious yet attainable goal hinges on comprehensive urban mobility shifts, including electrification and optimising active transport, which also promises significant reductions in urban transport energy consumption.??

?By enabling precise tracking and management of travel-related carbon emissions, we’re excited to empower European cities to pursue their urban transport decarbonisation targets, reinforcing strategies like green public transport enhancements and zero-emission zones.?

Transport Sector: Europe's Emission Culprit, Poised to Dominate 2030 Projections?

?The Transport & Environment report underscores a critical situation for Europe's transport sector, which, despite decreasing emissions since 2007, is decarbonizing three times slower than other sectors.??

?Projected to constitute nearly half of the continent's greenhouse gas emissions by 2030, the sector's current trajectory threatens Europe's net-zero ambitions. With cars, aviation, and shipping as major contributors, the report advocates for accelerated electrification, stringent vehicle emissions targets, and enhanced efficiency in shipping to reverse this trend and ensure a sustainable transport future.?

?By providing detailed carbon insights and promoting sustainable mobility solutions, TripShift is poised to support the transition towards a more efficient transport ecosystem in line with Europe's decarbonisation goals.?

UEFA Introduces Carbon Calculator to Tackle Football's Environmental Goals?

?UEFA has introduced a carbon footprint calculator for football clubs and organisations to reduce their emissions, not limited to flights but also including purchased goods, services, and facilities.??

This initiative, part of UEFA's commitment to the UN's Race to Zero campaign, aims for a 50% emission reduction by 2030 and Net Zero by 2040, responding to criticisms over the environmental impact of an expanding fixture calendar. The tool, verified by a third party and developed over two years, is seen as a step towards sustainable change in football.?

Football clubs - get in touch with us. With personalised insights and strategies to further drive down emissions, our technology perfectly complements UEFA's carbon footprint calculator by optimising travel and logistics with a focus on sustainability.?
